There is so much news from Sugar Hill Records this week that I have combined it in one post. Sugar Hill is one of the most important music labels in existences today and has one of the most eclectic rosters of artists in the music world. Doc Watson: Best of the Sugar Hill Years  This is the first of two new titles in Sugar Hill's Americana Master Series which were released on July 8, 2008. Doc is one of my heroes, and it was a special privilege for me to assist with the production of this compilation!

 The Americana Music Association is proud to announce that eminent Austin City Limits producer Terry Lickona will receive the Jack Emerson Lifetime Achievement Award for an Executive at the organization’s 7th Annual Honors and Awards ceremony, slated for September 18 at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
It is impossible to overstate the profound cultural effects of Terry Lickona's dedication, passion and vision. A native of Poughkeepsie, New York, Lickona made the move to Austin, Texas, in 1974. Originally an employee of Austin's public radio station KUT, he migrated to PBS and assumed the helm of the still nascent Austin City Limits in 1978. |

 Signature Sounds recording artist Crooked Still will release their highly anticipated third album on June 24th, titled Still Crooked. A world tour to support the record will follow. The band, made up of founding members Aoife O'Donovan, Greg Liszt and Corey DiMario, along with two new players, presents fluidity across musical genres: old time, folk, bluegrass and world music, on all of their recordings. Journalist Greil Marcus recently recognized the worldliness of their capability in Interview Magazine, "The songs to which Crooked Still applies itself were made to capture whole countries of experience, fantasy, forgetting, revenge, guilt and escape...The band takes up the songs as if they contain knowledge far beyond any person who might sing them."
